Corrie-lynn’s Bio

I'm a semi-stay-at-home mom, working on a Master's degress in mental health counseling. I have a wonderful three-year-old, and I've been baby-sitting since I was a teenager. Until recently, my baby-sitting has been for friends, not "professionally", but I'm quickly building up a clientele! I have a lot of experience working with teens in group home settings. I am first aid and CPR certified. Every job I've ever had required a clean BCI and driving record. I have a strong educational background in child development. I have had clients with developmental disabilities, mental illness, ODD, ADD, and Autism, but I don't feel comfortable claiming any "expertise", only that I have found that being patient and kind has never failed me. I am looking for evenings and weekends. During the day, I can baby-sit in my home, or I can bring my toddler. I am pet friendly and have transportation. Most importantly, I am a patient person, who works hard. I want to offer your child intellectually stimulating and creative activities. I am eternally amazed by the way children think and learn. I enjoy arts and crafts, and reading books, and playing the kinds of complex and strange games that children invent. I am extremely dependable, and have several friends (with similar backgrounds) who babysit, so in an emergency, I can most likely provide my own back-up.

Corrie was able and willing to come and watch my boys on short notice. She always arrived on time and was really great with the boys. The fact that she was a mother herself, gave me comfort and confidence that she knew what she was doing . I knew my boys were in good hands. It was also another comfort knowing she was CPR certified. I would highly recommend Corrie.

Corrie is wonderful. She babysits my 7 year old daughter and sometimes brings her daughter along too, which is great because my daughter loves having a playmate. Corrie really came through for me one day when I needed last minute assistance. She is always on time, and helps out with household stuff as well. Very nice person and good mother to her own child which I love.

Like most kids, mine freak out when I'm getting ready to leave the house, but when I return home my oldest tells me "Ms. Corrie and I did this and that." "I had fun with Ms. Corrie". To me, my children’s 'review' is the best! Corrie is a soft-spoken mother who really has a way with my three year-old and 18 month-old. She goes above and beyond to really make sure that my girls are well taken care of and that I come home to peacefulness. I highly recommend Corrie!

There are so many good things to say about Corrie... Being new to area, she took the time to sit and get to know our family. She has been watching my two children for the past couple months, one of which has a disability. She is reliable, available on short notice, and treats your children like her own. I am so thankful that we found her. If anyone is need of a sitter, definitely give her a call.

Corrie was wonderful with my 6 month old son! We were in town from Atlanta for a wedding and it was the first time we left him with anyone. She put me at ease and took great care of my son. Her daughter came along with her and was my sons little buddy all night. I can't say enough good things about her!
